    Not to mention to concern we should all have that she 1) graduated from medical school and 2) apparently had a semi-important state job. Never mind - I just remembered the guy from Dr. Death graduated from Tennessee Medical School. #secsecsec

    This plus the show makes a mockery of the whole Omerta bullshit. I mean not only are these guys morons but also they would turn on each other at the slightest opportunity whether directly via greed or cooperation with the feds. A group that has stupidity, greed, and machismo turned up to 11 is not going to end well. Some of the little things I noticed in the re-watch was 1) how the bosses feel obligated to receive a piece of everything (Tony not only not letting the one guy go to Florida but then taking a piece of his aunt's inheritance was the nadir for me) and 2) the crazy spoils splits: the guy that finds the score gets 50% while the guys that risk their lives get 50% ... what happened to the 10% finder's fee. And Tony's too stupid to realize shoving his wealth in his capos' / soldiers' faces is not a great way to win loyalty.

    I actually thought that was the point, and I really liked the ending. Not to get too deep about an HBO show, but it is akin to what Bonhoeffer described as "cheap grace." People tend to be attracted to the slogans and the ideas of living radically, but at the end 99% find the comfort security too hard to resist and reject sacrifices required to live authentically according to the slogans. It was obvious earlier with Paula and Kai - although she felt like here skin color gave here some sort of shallow solidarity with him, she reverted back to her own privilege and would not sacrifice her comfort and security for her T-shirt cause.

    Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Armond better be back next season.

    Being a coach's kid helps, but I never remember thinking "Haynes King is carrying this team." I mean he was good but I never remember thinking "greatest QB in Longview history." He was no Eric Harris.

    Agreed. But need to change that Green Monster ad.

    China likely will have something to say about that during the next 20 years.

    But if it saves just one child it is totally worth it.

    LA sports fans seem to be the worst. Remember that Giants fan a few years ago killed after getting jumped at Dodger Stadium.

    Unless we're playing Tulsa or Stanford.

    Don't type that on a Rockies fan board.

    I don't disagree, but that's a much different issue. The motives of those elected is one thing, but the system was designed in very particular, particularly ingenious way.

    That's what's seems to be happening in Dallas. North Dallas and the immediate suburbs, which were the place to be in the 70s and 80s and began to decline in the 90s and 00s have been gentrifying with upper middle class re-doing homes. Cities like Richardson, Carrollton-Farmers Branch, Irving have made dramatic revitalizations in the last 10 years.

    Exactly. We clearly need more civics taught. Without the Senate we get:

    It will be interested to see how this trend changes five years post-covid. People have been migrating from the countryside to urban areas since the dawn of time, but that trend might slow as remote working becomes more prominent. I know a few folks that have chosen to move out of large cities because they can given WFH capability. That definitely will not change the patterns but could change the rate.

    Don't fault her for trying. It is a low-risk, high reward outcome. She realized at dinner that Mrs. Stifler is just co-dependent and she was a short-term bridge between mom and cock. The Rachel stuff feels like the most forced on the show. She's obviously not a Mensa member, but she went through the wedding and ostensibly did not meet Shane last week, so pretty silly to think the lightbulb just now went off. Shane clearly has always been Shane. I love the juxtaposition of the honesty of Armond and Mark with the satirical fakeness of the vapid Zoomers.

    I can dig some up. Usually it is more of "both" vs. one ... rethinking it the idiots in the Brooklyn crew are probably more akin to Colombos. https://richardlinnett.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/the-real-sopranos.pdf https://nypost.com/2007/04/08/brutal-and-grisly-truth-of-garden-states-real-sopranos/
